Ivyboost has provided us with great support throughout the entire college application process. I really have to thank Tony for his patience and vast knowledge over all aspects of the college/major selection and career path decision making processes. I also have to thank Sarah, my essay mentor, for helping me immensely from the brainstorming to the polishing phase of all my supplementals, personal statement, and PIQs. I am more than happy with my current college options!

We had the distinct pleasure of working with Tony and the IvyBoost team throughout my son’s entire high school journey. Starting the college counseling process in freshman year was one of the best decisions we made. Now that my son has been admitted to his dream college, we can look back and see how Tony’s guidance was essential to every milestone. What sets Tony apart is his approach. He is remarkably supportive, encouraging, and calm—a steady hand in what can be a high-pressure environment. Beyond just checking boxes for college prep, he pushed my son to explore his true passions, which was instrumental in his personal growth. Perhaps most importantly for us as parents, Tony acted as a vital bridge in communication. We all know that navigating the teenage years can be challenging; Tony had a unique gift for bridging emotional gaps, calming both sides, and ensuring messages were heard clearly and patiently. By the end of this journey, Tony felt less like a consultant and more like a trusted member of our family. We cannot thank Tony and his team enough!

We are incredibly grateful for Ivyboost's team. They were excellent mentors who provided guidance, support, and valuable feedback every step of the way for our son's college admissions planning, applications, and college essays. Some of the areas we liked most about the counseling for my son were planning and organizing tasks and deadlines, conducting extensive research on colleges and courses, navigating the financial aid application process, and providing essay mentoring. My son was accepted into Penn State University with a major in Computer Science, Virginia Tech with a major in Engineering and Computer Science, ASU with a major in Data Science, and several UCs with majors in Applied Mathematics. He enrolled in an Honors Statistics 5-year Bachelor's and Master's program with a minor in Computer Science at a UC, and receives grant scholarships based on his academic performance each year. We are incredibly thankful to IvyBoost for their support and expertise throughout the process. We have returned to them for our daughter in her junior year.

We had a fantastic experience with IvyBoost! One of the most valuable aspects of their counseling was the structured approach to extracurricular planning, keeping track of application requirements, and providing insightful essay mentoring. Their guidance helped my child present a well-rounded and compelling application, making the entire process much more manageable. Thanks to their support, my child was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania for Biology! We are incredibly grateful for their expertise and highly recommend their services to any family navigating the college admissions journey.

IvyBoost has been a great help in my college application journey since freshman year. My counselor, Tony, was responsive, flexible, and refreshingly unbiased as we discussed my college options as a student interested in design---he took the time to understand my strengths, personality, and shortcomings, providing great insight when I began to curate a college list during application season. The IvyBoost team has also provided many resources that proved useful for organizing info about schools, my resume, and anything that was important to my college application. Thanks to these tools, I had the data all in one place when I needed it. Overall, IvyBoost's services have provided clarity and objectivity throughout my high school years, acting as a great support system whenever I had any inquiries or concerns. I'm so excited to join my dream program on scholarship in the fall, and it's thanks to the IvyBoost team's guidance!
